Welcome to Part 2 of Installing Java 5 and WebSphere Application Server Community Edition v2 on openSUSE.

In this demonstration we will be installing the WASCE v2 application server on the openSUSE platform. Let's get started.

Slide notes: Slide Time 22.6s

In part one of this demonstration we installed an IBM Java 5 JVM that is bundled with the WASCE download. We will be using the JVM we installed in part one in this demonstration. We can verify the active JVM for our current environment by opening a terminal window konsole.

Title Slide notes here:

Slide 4


Entering the command "java" with the "version" parameter will show the active JVM for our current user environment.


Page 5 of 56

Slide 5


You can see in the highlighted area the active JVM is the IBM Java 5, so we will proceed with our installation of WASCE v2.


Page 6 of 56

Slide 6


We will close the konsole shell using the exit command.

Slide 7


We will now open the system application of "Terminal Program - Super User Mode" to install WASCE since the installation requires "root" or administration authority.

We are using this option rather than logging on as "root" or using the su command to switch to the "root" user environment because the 'Super User Mode" application uses the JVM of the current user environment we just verified.

The "root" user environment may have a different JVM defined as active.

Slide 8


The "Terminal program - Super User Mode" application is found selecting "System - Terminal"

then select "Terminal Program - Super User Mode"


Page 11 of 56

Slide 11


The "Super User Mode" program opens a root shell konsole for the execution of commands with "root" authority.


Page 12 of 56

Slide 12


When prompted for a password you must enter the "root" password. If this is not entered correctly the root shell konsole will close.

After the correct password is entered we can change directory to the folder where the WASCE installation file is located. The highlighted file is the installation binary.


Page 16 of 56

Slide 16


We will now execute the installation binary file and press enter


Page 17 of 56

Slide 17


The binary execution starts an installation wizard which verifies the JVM as one of the first steps of the installation process.


Page 18 of 56

Slide 18


If the JVM verification is successful the wizard starts the InstallShield Wizard to continue the installation.

Slide 19


You can see from the splash screen that WebSphere Application Server Community Edition v2 is based on the open source Apache Geronimo technology.


Page 20 of 56

Slide 20


In this panel the wizard displays a warning that "A recommended platform was not detected". Improved support may now be available, so we will choose "Next" to continue the install.


Page 21 of 56

Slide 21


On this panel we are asked to read the license agreement "carefully".


Page 22 of 56

Slide 22


After "carefully" reading the "entire" license agreement we select "accept" to continue the install.

Slide 23



Page 24 of 56

Slide 24


After selecting "Next" the next panel shows the default installation directory for WASCE in the highlighted area. We will keep the default for this demonstration and choose "Next".


Page 25 of 56

Slide 25


This panel confirms the installation directory and shows the total size of the WASCE installation. We will select "Install" to continue the installation.

Slide 28


After a few minutes we will see the final panel with the message the installation is successful. We will now select "Finish".


Page 29 of 56

Slide 29


After the WASCE install wizard is closed we are returned to the command prompt of the root shell konsole. We do not want to close this window just yet.

This next step is optional, and most likely should not be used for a production install of WASCE.

However, if you want users other than the "root" user to be able to start and stop the installed WASCE server the next step is necessary.


Page 30 of 56

Slide 30


At the command prompt we will change directory to the "opt" directory where the WASCE server was installed. Using the "ls" command we see the "IBM" directory for the continued path of the WASCE installation.

In Linux the directory names are case sensitive, so we will be changing the read, write, and execute permissions on the "capital" IBM directory using the chmod command.


Page 31 of 56

Slide 31


The -R parameter changes the permissions for all files and subdirectories in the "IBM" directory path. The 777 parameter gives all users read, write, and execute permisions on all files in the "IBM" path. You may want to set different permissions for your installation.


Page 32 of 56

Slide 32


Now that the permissions have been changed we can close the root shell konsole and open a standard konsole shell to start the WASCE server.

Slide 37


The binary executable files for WASCE are in the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppCommunityEdition/bin path. There are various shell scripts for various functions, but for this demonstration we will start the server using the highlighted startup.sh script.


Page 38 of 56

Slide 38


We will execute the startup.sh script using the "&" parameter which allows us to close this konsole without killing any processes started in the konsole.

You can see from the messages on the left hand that WASCE is "powered" by Apache Geronimo technology.

Slide 39


Now that the server is started we can open a browser and enter the url "http://localhost:8080" to see the Welcome page of the WASCE server.


Page 40 of 56

Slide 40


When we open Firefox you can see the developerWorks website where we downloaded the WASCE product in part one of this demonstration.


Page 41 of 56

Slide 41


A fter we enter the url "http://localhost:8080" and press enter we will see the Welcome page for WebSphere Application Server Community Edition Version 2 (if the server is in fact up and running).

This page hightlights many of the new features of WASCE v2 and the current levels of supported standards.


Page 42 of 56

Slide 42


If we click on the "Administrative Console" link we will see the admin logon panel for the browser based Administrative Client.


Page 43 of 56

Slide 43


The default user name is "system", and the default password is "manager". Of course these defaults should be changed for your WASCE installation


Page 44 of 56

Slide 44



Page 45 of 56

Slide 45


After successfully logging on you will see the main page for the Admistrative Console. There are many functions to explore here, but we will only touch on a few of these in this demo.


Page 46 of 56

Slide 46


You can see in the highlighted area the administrative console provides a user friendly way to administer many server functions.

One example is the "Information" link under "Server" folder on the left hand side.


Page 47 of 56

Slide 47


This link provides valuable information about the server, operating system, and Java environment.

Our next step will be to "Shutdown" the server from the console.


Page 48 of 56

Slide 48


To shutdown the server from the console we click on the "Shutdown" link under the Server folder on the left hand side.


Page 49 of 56

Slide 49


We will select 'OK' when asked if we are sure we want to shutdown the server at this time.


Page 50 of 56

Slide 50


A final click on the 'Shutdown' button will shut down the WASCE server from the console.


Page 51 of 56

Slide 51


We can verify the WASCE server is shutdown by attempting to load the Welcome page again using the localhost:8080 url from the browser.

Slide 52


This concludes part 2 of Installing Java 5 EE and IBM WebSphere Application Server Community Edition v2 on openSUSE.


Page 53 of 56

Slide 53


Just a quick reminder that WASCE v2 is a lightweight JEE5 application server based on the open source Apache Geronimo technology.

Slide 54


There are several links for addtional information and forums if you would like additional information on the WASCE server.
